A member asked:

My hand is swollen bruised and feels hard. the er says no bones broken but very painful.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Take pain meds: Your doctor must have given you some pain medicines to take. This should relive your pain which will decrease as your bruises heal in 7 to 10 days time. You may also consider taking Tylenol if you do not have any other medicine given to you by your doctor.
